\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 0}}) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{0-(-2)}{6-0}\implies \cfrac{0+2}{6-0} \\\\\\ \cfrac{2}{6}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}


\bf \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-(-2)=\cfrac{1}{3}(x-0) \\\\\\ y+2=\cfrac{1}{3}x\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-2
